Sheng Shian

On the right side of the entrance of Fengyang Tower, there is a stable full of wine jars. There are few outsiders in Chongming, and the stable is just a beautiful decoration.

But at this moment, there was a steed tied to a post next to the stable, with its head lowered to gnaw the grass on the ground.

Shen Shi looked around lingeringly, he really wanted to grab Liu Changze's whip and ride his horse to visit the mine tyrant's home.

Robbing is out of the question.

but--

Shen hinted and said: "Master Hou, Chongming looks small, but the bases of the three bandit leaders who were interrogated today are too scattered, and it is really far away to find them. I am afraid that the precious time of Lord Hou will be wasted... ..."

Therefore, it is best that you give me a ride, which saves time and takes two steps less.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Hearing this, Liu Changze untied the horse from the stable, turned over and jumped up, looking at Shen Shi.

Shen Shi looked at him expectantly.

Liu Changze took off the horsewhip pinned to the cloud-pattern black gold girdle, approached Shen Shi step by step, and said coldly, "It's good to know."

Shen Shi nodded, a child can be taught.

Liu Changze raised his head and stared at Shen Shi, and suddenly slapped his whip at his feet and said, "If you are as slow as before, I will whip you away."

Shen Shi: "..."

The country road in Chongming was full of tea flowers, which were spoiled a lot by the reckless horse behind him. Shen Shi sighed sadly, feeling like a little white flower in the cold winter, poor tight.

Because Shen stayed up late, he walked a little vainly. The loose dark clothes were worn on him, like a long pine, standing proudly in the wind and frost, thin and upright.

It is exactly the same as Taifu.

Liu Changze held his breath, looked at the whip in his hand, and swung it forward.

Shen Shi heard the familiar sound of the whip falling at his feet, so he couldn't help speeding up a few more steps. He could spot Liu Changze's eyes even if he was lazy.

Why do you want to go to Fengyang Tower for dinner? Why do you want to provoke this plague god.

Shen is very regretful.

After about two sticks of incense, an old courtyard-style house appeared in front of Shen Shi. He opened the door and walked in, and a strong damp smell came over his face.He took a closer look, and found that it was the cornucopia in the courtyard, and there was a transparent crystal-like Pixiu, which was about half the size of a human.

Shen touched along the lines, then sniffed and said, "It's salt."

Liu Changze and Shen Shi frowned at the same time. Most of the salt mined from the salt mine was chaotic, and it could be refined to such a fineness, even official salt might not be of this level.

The people behind the scenes have a lot of background.

Shen Shi walked inside, and saw a statue of Guan Gong on the desk, with three sticks of incense tails on it, and the incense burner was pale yellow ashes.

Shen turned left and right, the other places were ordinary furniture, nothing special.He changed a room, and as soon as he opened the door, the afternoon sun shone straight into it, just reflected in his eyes, and he avoided it. There was a row of brand new iron catalpas beside the door.

He casually picked up a handful and knocked it on the salt mountain in front of him.

The towering salt mountain rolled down like an avalanche, and Shen Shi smelled a strange fragrance.

He sniffed it carefully, but couldn't smell it again.

Shen thought it was an illusion, and his eyes fell on the salt again. It was indeed a mountain of salt, and there was nothing else in it.

Shen Shi turned around and went out, only to see Master Liu staring at that Pixiu intently.

"What is Lord Hou looking at?"

Liu Changze glanced at him from the corner of his eye and saw a handful of iron catalpa in his hand, he grabbed it and threw it heavily at Pixiu.

The huge crystalline Pixiu, like the ice on the river surface, was hit hard, making a "click" sound, and split into pieces instantly.

Shen Shi was puzzled and leaned over, only to see that a white chassis was exposed where the Pixiu was originally placed.

Liu Changze's eyes flickered, he picked it up first to look at it, and then threw it to Shen Shi.

Shen Shi took it, and was scratched by a small gap at the bottom of the bowl. He looked at Liu Changze suspiciously. Is it a coincidence?

He played with the plate carefully, the inside was white and spotless, and the outside wall was outlined with a pair of extremely magnificent celadon paintings, which were handed down by the famous craftsmen of the previous dynasty.Shen was amazed, how could the imitation be so realistic, if it wasn't for the real product in front of the emperor, he was almost deceived.

want to.

Shen Shi arranged the white porcelain plates neatly like holding a rare treasure, and squatted down to clear the broken salt around.

Liu Changze looked down disdainfully, just in time to see that he was squatting, revealing a slender back of the neck, and his breathing slowed down inadvertently. He asked, "Is the fake worth it?"

"If the counterfeit is better than the real one, it is naturally worth it." Shen Shi said appreciatively.

Liu Changze suddenly snorted coldly, and slammed a whip on the white porcelain, splitting a crack in the middle.

"Delusion," he said.

Shen Shi: "..."

angry!You are throwing at me!Why bully a porcelain!

No!

What are you angry about!

Shen Shi shook his head distressedly, and rushed to the next house.

The situation is similar, Guan Gong is also offered, but there is no Pixiu decoration in this room.

Shen Shi became more and more suspicious, and he smelled the fragrance again in a trance, and asked, "Master Hou, do you smell anything?"

Liu Changze ignored him.

Shen understood, but didn't smell it.

There were no clues from the two families in succession, Shen Shi was haunted by an ominous premonition, he didn't need Master Hou to urge him, he left in a hurry.

The scattered crows flew up with the dusk, making a few low groans.

The blue-brick and red-tiled house in front of him exudes a permeable coldness.Shen Shi put his hand on the door, paused for a moment, and only then pushed hard when he heard Liu Changze's footsteps coming off his horse.

A few flies scrambled to fly out, he turned sideways to hide, there was still a buzzing sound in his ears, and in the yard, there were dead pigeons all over the place emitting a rotten smell, showing that the owner was in a hurry and had no time to deal with them .

Shen Shi covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and studied them one by one, trying to find clues, nothing special.Just as he was about to leave, a gray pigeon twitched its foot.

He noticed it with sharp eyes, and carefully put it in the palm of his hand.

The smell of blood was pungent, Liu Changze had already entered the inner room, Shen Shi went in with a gray pigeon in his hands, and what came into view was a huge statue of Guan Gong with two candles lit on the left and right.

Candle?Half the candle was still burning.

Shen Shi walked closer and took a look. The solidified candle tears hadn't melted yet. It was obvious that they had just been lit, and the room wasn't too dark.

He went to look at the censer as usual, and there was no surprise, it was also covered with light yellow ash.

He has seen this pale yellow ash four times in total.

The first time was when I came back to life, sinking into the incense burner of Confucius on the table.

unusual.

As if bewitched, Shen Shi reached out to touch the incense ashes.

Suddenly his wrist was grabbed by someone, and he was pulled back abruptly, which frightened him so that his hands were unsteady, and the pigeon fell to the ground.

His pupils shrank, and he hurriedly looked at the situation, but the pigeon was already dying, so it couldn't stand the toss, so it shrank into a ball and rushed to Huangquan in an instant.

Shen Shi was very angry, and grabbed Liu Changze's arm with his backhand. His voice was hoarse and painful, and he asked sharply:

"Master Hou knows that is the only clue!"

The blood on his hands stained Liu Changze's robe, and the corner of Liu Changze's mouth was pressed down, his face collapsed: "You dare to touch poison."

"What poison?" Shen was stunned.

"let go."

Shen Yi let go, and Liu Changze tapped the incense ash with a whip: "Arsenic."

"What do you do in the arsenic incense?"

Liu Changze raised his lips to one side, and said sarcastically, "Of course, delaying death."

Shen Shi's eyes widened instantly.

Eating it directly will kill you immediately.

If you put incense in it and burn it little by little, the poison will slowly enter the body, and you will die without anyone noticing.

The man in the prison!

Shen Shi trembled all over, pointed at Liu Changze and asked, "You already knew!"

Liu Changze made a statement without emotion: "After using such indecent means, you think they can still be alive."

Shen Shi's eyes dimmed.

He looked straight at Liu Changze and asked, "Master Hou, do you really not smell the fragrance?"

Liu Changze felt that those eyes were as clear as a mirror, reflecting him with nothing to hide from. He opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't speak.

Shen was not pressing questions, and walked out alone.

It may be that he has been watching the pigeons for too long, and the sky outside is already dark.

What fell in his eyes was a suffocating darkness.

What is Liu Changze covering up?

Why did he use such a cold tone to comment on the life and death of the people in the students he taught?

Did Liu Changze change, or did he never know each other?

Is Shen dead?

Thousands of questions filled his brain, making him confused.He was walking on the country road in a daze, as if he had fallen into a huge black hole, not knowing where he would go next.

defeat.

For the first time in his life, he felt frustrated, which made his waist straighten without confidence.

He can't see the road clearly, and he can't see people's hearts clearly.

He is a teacher in vain.

The roads in Chongming were full of dead branches and rotten wood, Shen Shi stepped on the wood with every step, making harsh noises.He thought he was walking safely, but he didn't expect that there was a fallen tree in front of him, and there was nowhere to hide.

He walked straight forward, bumped his foot against the tree trunk, and fell forward unprepared.At the moment of weightlessness, he suddenly realized that he was blind.

No matter how good the calculation is, it is better to see it with your own eyes.

Master of Heaven and Earth.

He's been a teacher for too long, and he's used to Liu Changze who tells him everything in front of him. He always guesses everyone as a matter of course. Has he really read it carefully and understood it?

If it is arrogant, he is much more arrogant than Liu Changze.

When his head was about to bleed out, a pair of strong hands crossed his waist, and an angry reprimand sounded in his ear.

"Why are you walking around!"

Liu Changze hugged Shen Shi tightly in shock, if he bumped into each other, how would he explain to the Taifu.

Shen Shi looked up at him numbly, and asked in a whisper, "Master Hou, did you make the gap in the white porcelain plate?"

"No." Liu Changze said without thinking.

Shen Shi squeezed out a smile, pushed away Liu Changze who was holding him, and said softly but firmly, "I believe you."

You are not wrong, if there is, it is also my teacher's fault.

Liu Changze was stunned, what a joke in the world, he wanted to say sharply, you are not qualified to trust me, but for some reason, the blade turned to him when he spoke.

He said, "Why do you trust a powerful person who is reviled by thousands of people."

Shen Shi looked at him quietly for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to him: "Master Hou, I can't see, can you take me back?"

Liu Changze took a step back.

Shen Shi's gaze was on his left ear, which made him flustered.

"You are so brave!" He shouted harshly.

Shen waited quietly.

Until Liu Changze stretched out the horsewhip in his hand, threw one end roughly into Shen Shi's open palm, and held the other end by himself.

The two walked in front of each other in the night of Chongming.

Tonight, there is no wind, no rain, no moon, only the twinkling tiny stars, burning their own light desperately.Even though they were too far away, Shen Shi couldn't see any of them, but they still paved the way and fell on his shoulders.
